The Elite 13.8m Kaeā blends traditional craftsmanship with advanced marine engineering, built for confident coastal cruising. Her timeless exterior pairs beautifully with a luxurious interior of dark oak cabinetry, soft off-white fabrics, and classic teak-and-holly flooring.
The saloon offers a full-length settee with pop-up TV to starboard and U-shaped seating around the dining table to port. Aft, the galley features premium appliances, ample storage, and a serving window to the cockpit.
Accommodation for four includes two spacious double cabins, with a full-beam master berth. A large bathroom with separate shower is complemented by a second day head, easily accessed from the cockpit. A sliding door beside the helm offers quick access to bow and stern lines, perfect for short-handed cruising.
At the helm, twin 12” Garmin displays, Cummins controls, Zipwake interceptors, bow thruster, autopilot, VHF, radar, inverter, generator, water maker, and Starlink connectivity are seamlessly integrated.
The versatile cockpit features a removable dining table, second helm station, and mounts for a BBQ and bait board.
Powered by twin Cummins QSB 480hp diesels, Kaeā cruises comfortably at 18–20 knots and reaches 30 knots. A spacious utility area leads to a well-appointed engine room.
Custom-built and performance-driven, Kaeā captures Elite’s commitment to timeless style, innovation, and legendary craftsmanship.
